Text of the provision

Art. 2009. As to matters not provided for in this Code, judicial sequestration shall be governed by the Rules of Court.

(1789a)

Civil Code of the Philippines, Republic Act No. 386, approved June 18, 1949, effective August 30, 1950. Reproduced in full; verified verbatim against the LawPhil and ChanRobles renderings and the Official Gazette, all three of which agree word for word.

What this article means

The closing article of the Deposit title, immediately before Aleatory Contracts begins. For anything the preceding articles on judicial sequestration (a court-ordered deposit of property in litigation) do not provide for, the gap is filled by the Rules of Court — today most directly Rule 57 on preliminary attachment and the receivership rules, which supply the procedural machinery the Civil Code itself does not attempt to codify.
